Select Technologies ties up with VMware

BANGALORE, INDIA: Select Technologies, A division of WeP Solutions Ltd, has entered into a distribution tie up with VMWare.

VMware's expertise lies in offering virtualization platform IT infrastructure, enabling higher level of protection for business critical systems and data for small and medium business enterprises. This will be mutually beneficial as Select Technologies also focuses on the SMB segment primarily.

Virtualization is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. The x86 computer hardware that was initially designed to run only a single operating system and single application, now runs multiple operating systems and multiple applications, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.

However, virtualizing a single physical computer is just the beginning. VMware offers a robust virtualization platform that can scale across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices to form an entire virtual infrastructure.

Virtualization helps eliminate planned downtime for machine maintenance and recover quickly from unplanned outages with the ability to secure backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service. This also helps to achieve significantly higher resource utilization by pooling common infrastructure resources and breaking the legacy "one application to one server" model.
